CONVERTIBLE TABLE Filed April 50, 1928 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 v INVENTOR ATTORN EY Patented June 10, 1930 PATENT OFFICE ANTONIO FRAZZANO, F ORANGE, NEW JERSEY CONVERTIBLE TABLE Application filed April 30,

This invention relates to tables as used in kitchens, tailoring establishments and like places where ironing is done and has as one of its objects to provide a table of conventional type having an extension at one end by which the upper surface may be extended in a firm and substantial manner, the same being an improvement over my co-pending application, Serial Number 249,129.

1928. Serial No. 273,818.

20 in such manner as to fold closely there- 55 against or extend at a right angle to enter and be supported in the socket 17 Thus is will be seen that the extension top 20 may be held in a raised position, level with Another object is in the provision of means whereby the side elements of the extension may be folded over the central portion of its upper surface, thus providing an effective ironing board, raised above the surface of the main table to be used without conflicting with it.

These objects are attained by the novel construction and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described and shown in the annexed drawings, forming part hereof, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a structure made in accordance with the invention, as fully extended for use as a table.

Figure 2 is a similar view of the same, showing the extension as folded upon itself to constitute an ironing board.

Figure 3 is a partial longitudinal sectional 31) view taken through the center of the table.

An ordinary type of table is shown in the drawings having a level unbroken top 10 supported by a rectangular frame l1-12 inset from the edges of the table top and having :33 legs 13 at the corners extending to the floor, the table being provided with drawers 14.

Fixed in the frame is a board acting as a slideway 14 above which is an opening 15 in the frame end, reaching to the underside of the table top 10, and at the outer edge of the board 14 which extends outward beyond the end of the table is a block 16 having a recess or socket 17 in its front upper portion.

Slidably mounted on the board 14 is a strip 18, its'forward edge abutting the block l6 when the extension is drawn outwardly, its rear portion reaching into the opening 15.

A pair of opposed double hinges 19 are attached by their lower members to the slide strip 18 and at their upper members to the the main top 10, or, by folding the hinges 19 and bracket 21, be lowered to slide into the opening 15.

At the outer edge of the element 20 is attached by hinges 28 a support 22 having a notch 23 in its lower portion suited to engage the sides of the bracket 21 when folded against the element 20, and slide with it into the opening 15.

The support 22 is further recessed at its lower end to provide legs 24 to rest upon the floor when extended at an angle as shown, and set in the end of the element 20 is a ring 25 to facilitate withdrawal of the extension.

Engaged by hinges 26 to the side edges of the top element 20 are plates 27, each being half the width of the central element 20 and adapted to be folded thereover, thus presenting a raised upper surface for ironing and like purposes, and which, when in a folded position, can be disposed, together with the element 20 and support 21, within the space below the main table top 10.

Then the leaves 27 are outturned the full area of the elements 20 and 27 are presented, acting as a continuation of the main table top 10 being level therewith and correspond ing to it in width.

Although the preferred embodiment of this invention has been described in detail, it is understood that minor changes in construction and details thereof may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims. 7

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A table having an end opening below its top, an extension one-half the width of the table top, leaves hingedly engaged at the edges of said extension to cover its surface when folded thereover, a hinged support at the end of the extension foldable thereagainst, toggle joint means to support said extension level with the table top, said means enabling the extension to be lowered to pass into the opening, and means to limit the extraction of said extension.

2. A table having an end opening below its top, an extension one-half the width of.
